Modified periodontal risk assessment score: long‐term predictive value of treatment outcomes. A retrospective study

Abstract

This study showed the reliability of PRAS in evaluating long-term TL and patient susceptibility to periodontal disease. Our data confirmed the positive influence of patient compliance on periodontal treatment outcomes.

Assessment of panoramic radiography as a national oral examination tool: review of the literature

“…As periodontal inflammation progresses, it causes several symptoms, bleeding on probing, formation of periodontal pocket, sensitivity, alveolar bone loss, tooth mobility, and loss of tooth 46. Many studies reported that periodontal diseases was the second reason for the extraction 43,47.…”

“…[14][15][16][17][18] Similar approaches for implant dentistry are still scarce in spite of the worldwide diffusion of this discipline. [14][15][16][17][18] Similar approaches for implant dentistry are still scarce in spite of the worldwide diffusion of this discipline.…”

Is Psychological Stress a Possible Risk Factor for Periodontal Disease? A Systematic Review

“…The microbes induce destruction of periodontal tissues by initiating inflammatory and immune responses by various inflammatory molecules such as proteases, cytokines, prostaglandins and host enzymes released from leukocytes and fibroblasts [44]. Many studies have shown the important role of microbial pathogenesis in periodontitis; however, bacteria alone appear to be insufficient in explaining the progression of the disease [45]. Age, tobacco smoking, genetic factors, socioeconomic status, systemic diseases and psychological stress have been identified as additional risk factors for periodontitis [9,46].…”
